PPP Overview
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting
multi-protocol datagram over point-to-point links. It gains wide applications since
it can provide user authentication, support synchronous/asynchronous lines and
can be expanded easily.
PPP defines a whole set of protocols, including link control protocol (LCP), network
control protocol (NCP) and authentication protocols (PAP and CHAP). Of them:
■
Link Control Protocol is used to negotiate some parameters of the link and is
responsible for creating and maintaining the link.
■
Network Control Protocol is used to negotiate the parameters of network layer
protocol.
PPP Authentication Mode
1
PAP authentication
PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) is a 2-way handshake authentication
protocol and it transmits username and password in plain text over the Internet.
The process of PAP authentication is as follows:
The requester repeatedly sends its username/password combination across the link
until the authenticator responds with an acknowledgment or until the link is
broken. The authenticator may disconnect the link if it determines that the
username/password combination is not valid.
2
CHAP authentication
CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) is a 3-way handshake
authentication protocol. It only sends the username but not the password across
the link. The process of CHAP is as follows:
